If you've been following MüCKE for a while, you'll probably already know this. Or if you know me, personally, you will, no doubt, definitely know this. But for those of you who don't, a little fact about MüCKE and more specifically me, owner/director/head designer, Ellie Mücke, is that I was born in Daylesford, in country Victoria. Not a big fact, no. But perhaps it gives you another little insight into the roots of MüCKE. Daylesford is a beautiful little town in central Victoria, populated by tourists in groovy cafes on the weekend and bathing in mineral water at any opportunity! It's worth a visit if you haven't been.

You'll understand now why I'm excited this week, to be doing my very first market in Daylesford. The town that I spent much of my childhood roaming around. The town I was not only born in, but went to both Primary and secondary school here! I love this place. So, I'm excited.

You'll be able to find MüCKE in the Town Hall at the Daylesford Makers Market. It's a big weekend in town with the Daylesford Craft Weekend on from Friday till Sunday and the monthly Farmers Market will be on as well.

You might get to see some of these new treasures if you're lucky......the earings that is, i don't think lovely Zahra will be there but you never know!We have mountains of stock, plus it will be a lot less crowded than the Melbourne Design Market where you'll find us the following weekend. If I don't see you this weekend, you should still make sure you visit Daylesford, sometime soon. You'll love it!

SS1011 Photoshoot done, what a relief. Thank you to those of you who volunteered to help out. In the end we had a lovely lady, Zahra, be our gorgeous model. The ladies at the Social Studio helped us to find her, how sweet of them! We'll show some pics once things have settled down in the studio. As you can see from above, its a little hectic here at the moment!!!

I went straight from the shoot, to marking work in at RMIT, to a little presentation at the Social Studio! 3 days of intensity. Now its still Crazy busy, as we are packing up our home in Thornbury and relocating to the hills for a short period.

How many boxes in this picture?Forward the MüCKE blog to that many people,then, get them all to sign up as friends!

What will you get?A FREE T-lace, posted right to your doorstep!-colour of MüCKE's choice
